What a disgusting and inhumane treatment if animals. Maybe whoever thinks this is ok, should be confined to an area and have a Maneater let loose to train to kill. Unbelievable!!!!!
This practise is barbaric and needs to be stopped, not supported by our government.
I suppose dog fights, bull baiting, and throwing Christians to the lions will become options in the not too distant future.

As an Ontario resident I fully oppose the return of trial and train facilities. This is a barbaric practice, unnecessary and unwelcome in todays world.

This is abhorrent. Allowing this kind of training is cruel and barbaric. This is animal torture at best, and government sanctioned animal fighting/cruelty at its worst.

The practice of pen hunting can only be viewed as barbaric by any measure of decency in the treatment by humans of innocent animals. I find it shocking that people walk this earth thinking it is OK to tear living animals apart.

It's disturbing to learn that the Ministry is proposing to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. I don't believe that it's ethical to exploit wild populations to be used as bait for dog training.

I disagree with allowing torturing of animals for any purpose. What happens naturally is one thing but setting up animals to be hunted is wrong and should not be happening
Please stop this nonsense. Hunting pens are inhumane and unethical. Wild animals like foxes, coyotes, and rabbits are captured and held in captivity, subjected to cruelty, abuse, and suffering through the training and trialing of hunting dogs.

I see no reason for and strongly oppose this proposal.
These facilities are cruel to wild animals who deserve to roam free in their homes not hunted by dogs.

This a cruel and barbaric activity, illegal in most of Canada and many US states. The animals are penned and have no chance of escape, being ripped apart by dogs. It is beyond comprehension why the Government of Ontario would even suggest the allowance of such an inhumane activity.

These facilities should not exist at all, let alone be expanded upon. The methods of training include a completely unnecessary amount of cruelty in a modern society. Invest the money in alternative training facilities and methods.

When I first heard of this proposal to allow dog hunting trials, I thought it was a farce. "Under no circumstances would a government allow this type of sport to take place,"I thought, but couldn't be more wrong. Is our society moving backwards? Where are the protections for our wild animals?
